Childcare is not only a family issue. It is community infrastructure.

It helps parents work. It helps businesses retain employees. It supports hospitals, schools, farms, stores, and local services. It helps young families remain in our rural communities.

When childcare is strong, the entire community grows. We invite you to help build a permanently endowed fund supporting eligible nonprofit childcare facilities across the 26-county Dane G. Hansen Foundation service area.

Because of the Patterson Family Foundation's generosity, local donors can multiply their impact during Match Month.

This September, your generosity has more than one destination. Choose a participating fund that reflects what matters to you - stronger affiliates, disaster relief, early childhood, rural healthcare, inclusive opportunities, youth development, or services for people with disabilities.

During GNWKCF Match Month, eligible gifts receive up to a 50% match. Twenty-five percent supports the fund you select, and 25% supports GNWKCF's Endowment Fund - helping strengthen both today's mission and tomorrow's regional foundation.

Every great harvest begins with a seed. 🌱

It takes time, care, patience, and the right conditions for that seed to grow. Children need those same things. 🏫

Quality childcare gives children a safe place to learn, build relationships, discover new things, and begin dreaming about their futures.

Your Match Month gift helps us plant something that can grow for generations.
